I own a draft cross in a cowboy area. If it isn't a stock horse, it isn't worth much...or at least that's the attitude. I get funny looks because of my big pinto beastly...even from the owners of other "outcasts" (arabs, TBs, etc).

I can honestly say that I am not breed or color racist. Yes, there are breeds and colors I like better than others, but there's none that I absolutely do not like.Posted via Mobile Device

I agree with the person above me personaly my favriot color is black or browns but other colors are great to. Pintos get a lot of hate in my barn we have 3 pintos my favriot is this big fat mongolian pony who is so smart he is the perfect bareback horse the BO , grooms etc hate him for his color and size. But kids love himPosted via Mobile Device

We used to have a Missouri Fox Trotter, given he was NOT a cattle horse whatsoever. We would haul him to ropings trying to desensitize him, and we'd gather cattle on him. Got a lot of laughs because "That 'dare horse jus' don't move right'"...according to the old cowboys... Always kept things interesting.

I actually know more people who are absolute TB snobs and those who dislike them. In eventing and in jumpers. It is ridiculous. One girl I know has an appendix, but she's such a snob she tells people her horse is a TB.

I have zero interest in owning a draft or gaited horse. I would never however put them down or laugh at anyone for owning one.
Unless you tried doing endurance on a clydesdale. Now that deserves a laugh.
I ahve ridden both types and enjoyed them.
I prefer a "hot" horse therefore my choice of breeds. I do own a couple of TBs and QHs. Every breed has its positive traits and most have individuals that can do things the breed is not noted for.
You just have to give them a chance. Shalom

For dressage I would do warmblood from intermediate. Its true watmbloods are better for it not saying TBs and QH etc can't do it. Jumping is different TBs have gone up to grand prix level like Anne Kurdunskis Eros he was a great OTTB jumperPosted via Mobile Device
